>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Apparently the Treasury doesn't report its repo auction results in the Fed's report since last Thursday's maturities in the two operations didn't match. It's difficult to call this operation "secret" if financial institutions have been using it for three years to increase their liquidity. But folks I asked on the trader side of the investment community if they had never heard of this arrangement.

Experts worry whenever there is too much money - liquidity - in the financial system because it can lead to things like price spirals in the housing market and bubbles in stocks.

But even more worrisome for the financial markets than too much liquidity would be an inability to track the amount of money being pumped into the financial system.

Unless I find out differently, it looks as if the Treasury has created a way to duplicate the Fed's power. And that is a disturbing possibility unless it is somehow monitored.
